I was wondering if anyone knows of a third-party module that can be used to train a data model from the data Ignition is collecting, for use in predictive maintenance processes.
Alternatively, is there any open-source module available?
I’ve tried Sorba.ai, but I need to find another option
There are some projects for this on Ignition Exchange.
One technical consideration (and it’s been a big factor in our own slowness to bring out a module to do this) is that training ML models is very CPU, I/O and memory intensive. Which means you probably don’t want to be training the model on the same box your Gateway is on. It’s not difficult to work around this (have one Gateway train the model and send to another to use, train the model during down time, etc), but it does complicate things.
Thank you for the comment. What I'm struggling with now is finding a suitable module to do this. We've already invested in two different gateways, and we can spin up another server dedicated to training a model. I just need to find the module or a third-party software that can be integrated with Ignition
